More than conquerors.
In 1 John 4: 4 says, “Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world”
In Romans 8 tells us that we are sons and daughters of God, heirs of God, and joint heir with Jesus.
In Romans 8: 7 says, “He made us more than conquerors”. Think about that for a minute, you would be glad to be told that you are a conqueror alone from God, but he said with his authority, that you are more than a conqueror.
To put you in a picture and help you understand a little about that statement. A prize fighter has an important fight coming up that is worth a huge lot of money to him, so he will start to train months in advance for this title. Now while he trains, he won’t pay attention to anything other than his advance training. He gives his whole life and effort over to this one fight. He goes to training camps away from everything. He watches what he eats, what he drinks. Everything he does is all geared up for this fight, because when that final bell rings, he wants to be the conqueror. So he trains and trains even more.
Finally that day has arrived; he walks into the arena and steps into the ring. Both fighters are introduced and start the fight. He and the opponent fight on and on. Then the bell rings, and his hand is raised in victory. He is the conqueror! He may be cut and bruised and tired, but he is still the conqueror. Right?
So he crawls out of the ring through the applauding and shouting crowd, he still the conqueror. He manages to walk to his dressing room. He then takes a shower and puts on his clothes, he walks to the office and picks up his cheque, that big huge load of money he won for the fight, the conqueror. So no doubt he is the conqueror right?
Then finally the conqueror takes that check home. He walks in the door and his wife comes over to kiss and hug him, and says my conqueror wins. He hands over the check to his wife, so who is more than a conqueror? The fighter who went through all that hard work of training and all the hard work to conqueror that fight?, or his wife?
She is more than the conqueror! He did all the work, went to all the trouble, fought the fight and came out as conqueror. His wife didn’t do anything, but she got all the money. So she is more than a conqueror.
Well Jesus did the same thing; he did all the work, Jesus conquerors the world, and claims the prize of all the power and the keys to hell. He conquerors it all, so that we all, as Jesus stated in the bible that we are MORE than conquerors.
What does it mean to you now?
